PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS AS AFFORD- 
ING A BASIS FOR THE DETERMINA- 
TION OF THE IDEAL MAN. 



More than a century ago, Sir Joshua Reynolds in England used 
this language : 

" From reiterated experience and a close comparison of the objects 
of nature, the artist becomes possessed of a central form from which 
every deviation is deformity. * * * * And as there is one 
general form which belongs to the human kind at large, so in each of 
these classes there is one common idea and central form which is the 
abstract of the various individual forms belonging to that class. But 
I must add further, that though the most perfect forms of each of the 
general divisions of the human figure are ideal, and superior to any 
individual forms of that class, yet the highest perfection of the 
human figure is not to be found in any one of them. It is not in the 
Hercules, nor in the Gladiator, nor in the Apollo ; but in that form 
which is taken from them all, and which partakes of the activity of 
the Gladiator, of the delicacy of the Apollo, and the muscular strength 
of the Hercules." 

The object of this article is not to exhibit on paper or in figures 
the' ideal human form, but believing there is an ideal form as 
conceived in the Divine mind, and that this ideal is by no means as 
yet present to us in the bodies of our young men ; but to show that 
the studies here presented may give us some glimpses of this ideal, 
and how we may approximate to it. Or, perhaps it is better to say 
that these studies show us what is the best human form and propor- 
tion as it actually exists to-day, and then from the special and pecu- 
liar excellencies as brought out in these researches, we can set our- 
selves to work to see if we cannot elevate the average to a higher ideal. 

But firstly let us bring up a little past history of the study of the 
human form in ideal. 

The Sanscrit manuscript written in the early Christian centuries is 
the Oldest literature on this subject. It is called the Silpi Sastri, 
and with great exactness and precision divides the human body into 
nine portions, and 480 parts. 



The hair, 15 

The face, 55 

The neck, 25 

The chest, 55 

From the chest to the navel, 55 

Thence to the pnbes, 53 

" " knee, 90 

The knee itself, 30 

The leg and foot, 102 



480 

And by a most " occult " administration of a tangle of squares, 
circles and triangles it was " demonstrated " in this manuscript what 
the perfect human form might be expected to resemble. 

A Greek sculptor Polykleitus about 400 years B. C. has left a 
treatise called the " canon" on human proportions. This was illus- 
trated by a marble statue called Doryphorus, or Spear Bearer, which 
was said to have been of " perfect proportions." But the model has 
disappeared. 

Phidias, still later, employed twenty models, borrowing from each 
of them the most beautiful parts u permitting him to arrange them 
with all the necessary strength and dignity." 

And other schemes have been devised, and have perished, by other 
lesser lights among artists ancient and modern, endeavoring to tell 
us what is the perfect or ideal human form. 

But near the beginning of the present century, as scientific methods 
have come to the front to confirm or overthrow theory as it may be 
true or false, the artistic conception has been asked to wait a little 
while, until patient, plodding, scientific investigation shall show us 
what we now have on hand to enable us to try and construct the 
artistic ideal. 

And the first investigator in this field of research is no less a man 
than Baron L. A. Gr. Quetelet of Belgium, in the prime of his activi- 
ties from 1850 to 1870. His work which we find under the different 
captions of " proportions," " superficial extent," " development," 
" measure of the different faculties" and " theory of probabilities of 
the human body " he most carefully carried out by observation, 
experiment, and use of the doctrine of means and averages over an 
immense field of investigation. And to Baron Quetelet we must give 
the title of the Father of Anthropometry. 



Since the year 1884, the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Physical Education has received, and there have been read at 
its annual meetings many papers on anthropometry and its kindred 
subjects. It has also adopted a definite method of ascertaining the 
proportions of the human body mainly as derived from measurements 
made in colleges, schools and the Y. M. C. associations. 

Working in the very close direction of the method adopted by 
this association, the Department of Physical Education in Amherst 
College has been making a prolonged and careful study of the physi- 
cal statistics of all of the nearly 3000 students who have been 
connected with this Institution during the last thirty years. 
The results of study have been carefully preserved, collected 
and tabulated in several different ways, and the most important of 
them are appended to this paper. It has not, however, been the 
design in it all, to labor according to any preconceived theory or 
model, but merely to gather together the facts, and then find out the 
law or method which they seem to outline or foreshadow. 

This large mass of measurements has been looked at, arranged and 
tabulated in the following different ways. 

The first one is in the common method of taking the Average of 
each item of all the students measured. This means, adding 
together the measures of each student, and then dividing the amount 
by the total number of students observed. This is to be found under 
the table of the Average Student. 

As twenty-one years is considered by common law to be the date 
of arriving at full manhood, the measurements of those who were 
between Twenty-one and Twenty-two Years of Age are arranged 
and exhibited under the table The Student Twenty-one Years Old. 

For the sake of further unfolding the subject, these measurements 
have been arranged and tabulated according to the doctrine of means, 
or, of mean proportions. The method of securing this, is, to arrange 
all the items in groups with a common difference, from the least to 
the greatest, when we readily find the group with the largest number, 
which represents the mean number of the whole. This is found under 
table 3, or the one of the Student of mean proportions. 

Another way of illustrating these results is the grouping of all the 
items by the Ages of the Individuals. The ages as studied here 
have been from sixteen to twenty-six. This is the Table of Ages. 

The Percentile Method is another way of expressing the results 
of these measurements. This method is analogous to that of the 



6 

u means." The items here are all arranged in order from the great- 
est to the least, when five per cent, are counted off for the first 
division, ten more for the second, and so on down to fifty per cent., 
which corresponds very closely with the " average," or " mean," as 
already described. These five divisions indicate a measure above 
the fifty per cent. Then another division of ten per cent, indicates 
forty per cent, below the fifty per cent, division ; and another ten, 
per cent, thirty more below, and so on to the minimum of five per cent. 

The last table is that with Stature for a basis of comparison. 
Here all the items are grouped together under the differing body 
heights, from the lowest to the highest with the variation of one 
centimeter, or about half an inch in each group. For instance, taking 
the lowest group measuring 1600 m. m. or 63 inches, all men of this 
height — 1600 to 1609 — are tabulated together and each of the fifty- 
four items averaged to secuie the standard of measurements for men 
of the heighth of 1600 m. m., or 63 inches. Then the other heights, 
1610, 1620 and so on up to 1830 m. in., or 72 inches, are tabulated 
in the same manner. This is the table represented By Heights. 

Thus are brought side by side six different ways of studying the 
anthropometric results obtained from the students of Amherst College. 
And it certainly is both instructive and interesting to see the close 
relation of results in these different methods, and very likely if we 
feel that we must adopt one of these several methods, we shall have 
to be on our guard lest we should need the advice of the countryman 
to the traveler who inquired which was the best of three roads before 
them, " all of them lead you there, but whichever one you take 
before you get there you'll wish you had taken the other." 

For, without doubt, age, weight, stature and per cent, are each im- 
portant factors in this problem, when we are to treat it in a cosmo- 
politan manner. But for educational and developmental study, 
where so much of the need of physical training now lies, for the 
training, strengthening and developing weak and poorly developed 
bodies, the Standard of Stature seems the safest and surest to work 
from. The painter and sculptor certainly makes his dimensions of 
size according to the height of.the subject he is placing on canvas 
or in marble. There are certain limits to the outline of the tall per- 
son which he would not give to a shorter figure, even if the age were 
exactly the same. He would not add the encumbrance of fat to the 
figure short and chubby, even though the theory was ever so strong 
that just so much adipose must be there all the same, no matter 



what the lengths of the bone so warmly covered up might be. And 
it seems rational to suppose that the capacity and size of the vital 
organs, and the strength of the muscles, to move the longer or 
shorter levers will be proportioned to the length of trunk and limb, 
rather than to the mere weight of the tissues. Also the facts are 
established, beyond doubt, long ago, that the size of the lungs and 
some other vital organs, depends in each individual case upon the 
bodily stature, so many additional cubic inches of lung capacity for 
each inch of stature. And as strength of muscle depends on the 
number rather than the length of its fibers, we shall see that the long 
arm or leg needs a thicker muscle to move it than does a shorter one. 
Hence the trunk, arm or leg of the person a little longer than another 
of exactly the same age or weight, would require a little longer girth 
measure, to endue it with the strength proportioned to the size. 

It will not, however, be right to dismiss this subject without 
presenting to this association the opinion of Mr. Charles Roberts, 
the foremost authority on anthropometry in Great Britain to-day. 
In treating of the subject in " index columns, age columns and result 
columns," he sums up the whole by saying, " the total height being 
the most characteristic and important measurement of the body, the 
arrangement of the table of heights has been made the model for all 
the rest." 

In concluding, it seems safe to say, that the examination of the 
tables constructed on Bodily Stature as a datum give strong support 
to the idea that this element is the determining basis for an anthropo- 
metric standard whether of the ideal man, or for rational deductions 
and prescriptions for a better or more normal rate and quality of 
bodily growth. 

It is a pleasure and privilege to say that the preparation and 
printing of these tables, and the offer of a copy to each member of 
this association is made possible by the endowment of a " contingent 
fund " for anthropometric, and its kindred work in Amherst College 
by Dr. Ruf us P. Lincoln in New York.
